Our Ceo, Maryl Georgi, recently attended a wedding at the Lake Placid Lodge in Adirondacks, New York. She was blown away with the beauty and stillness of the lake. The lodge, which was built in 1882, is surrounded by over 6 million acres of wilderness. Lake Placid is the perfect getaway that brings you back to nature and allows you to relax in the great outdoors.

There is a great deal of lake activities to participate in including: boating, hiking, fishing, tennis, golf, mountain biking, horseback riding, and so much more.

Of course our Shortomatic shorts were the perfect shorts to lounge in at the lake!

Are you shopping for gifts for men? We have an idea that is perfect for Father’s Day or any other holiday. Men can be absolutely impossible to buy for. What do you get the man that has everything? We have your solution. This idea is sure to put a smile on any guy’s face! Get started on your own amazing gift idea today!

Start by uploading any picture that your guy loves to Shortomatic. We took this adorable picture of Harvey the Boston Terrier to use as our example. You can choose literally ANY picture. Remember the higher quality file the better the result. If your image fails to meet the minimum criteria or is too large, the customizer will recommend uploading an alternative image file. Head out and find something he loves then upload a picture. Be sure your file format is JPEG or JPG. You can then customize the look of the shorts with our simple shorts customizer.

In this case, we isolated a portion of the image in a photo editing program and created a tiled image. We then uploaded that version to Shortomatic. This works great if you have a smaller sized image. Tiling it several times will allow you to make a larger image that will work great on a pair of our custom shorts. We then worked with the image and the shorts customizer until we were happy with the preview. The possibilities are endless! You can position and size your picture as you like, mirror the image onto both legs, and more. You can also choose background colors within the customizer. We will then get to work on your custom shorts!

These shorts make great gifts for men. Add any image that your guy loves to our shorts customizer for a one of a kind gift idea!

So you’ve been sitting on the couch all winter and just realized that shorts wearing weather has arrived. Or maybe you’re finally motivated to tackle that months old new year’s resolution to get fit. Don’t be hard on yourself! The great thing is that NOW you’re ready to improve your health with exercise. Running provides a great workout because you don’t need an expensive gym membership or fancy equipment. It’s all you! Here’s a walk to run plan to help you ease into running.

For starters, give yourself 8-10 weeks to reach your goal. Plan on working out at a minimum three times per week for 30 minutes, or more often if your schedule allows it. If you need a visual reminder of your walk to run plan, here’s a great printable that you can download for free from PopSugar. Click HERE to download this chart that you can tape to your fridge and keep yourself motivated.

Begin and end every session with a 3-5 minute brisk walk to first warm up your muscles and later cool them down. In the beginning, you’ll start out walking more with brief running intervals. As your stamina and endurance improves, you’ll be running more. Here’s a sample 12 week walker to runner fitness plan from Women’s Running Magazine:

Week 1: Run 1 minute, walk 4 minutes. Repeat this interval 6 times.

Week 2: Run 2 minutes, walk 4 minutes. Repeat the interval 4 times.

Week 3: Run 4 minutes, walk 2 minutes. Repeat 5 times.

Week 4: Run 6 minutes, walk 2 minutes. Repeat 4 times.

Week 5: Run 8 minutes, walk 3 minutes. Repeat 3 times.

Week 6: Run 10 minutes, walk 1 minutes. Repeat 3 times.

Week 7: Run 13 minutes, walk 2 minutes. Repeat 2 times.

Week 8: Run 14 minutes, walk 2 minutes. Repeat 2 times.

Week 9: Run 18 minutes, walk 2 minutes, run 10 minutes.

Week 10: Run 20 minutes, walk 1 minutes, run 10 minutes.

Week 11: Run 25 minutes, walk 1 minutes run 5 minutes.

Week 12: Run 30 minutes.

Once you’ve hit your stride, or even if you just want to vary your workout a bit, you might want to add ROGA to your walk to run plan. ROGA (Run and yoga) is a fun workout that starts with a short run and ends with a great yoga session. ROGA is offered on the Santa Monica Pier on Saturdays (click here for more info), and if you stop by this summer you *just* might catch a glimpse of some of our hot, new custom Yogamatic mats. Hope to see you there!
